Chimpanzee eats toast & chocolate

February 17th, 2009 by James

On Saturday’s episode of Shimura Zoo, genius chimpanzee Pan-kun joined Ken Shimura and Ai Haruna for some Valentine’s Day fun.

First, they woke up in the morning and had a breakfast of toast & jam:

Later, they brought out a chocolate fountain and taught Pan-kun how to coat food with chocolate:


Since chimpanzees are so closely related to humans, that chocolate probably wasn’t dangerous for Pan-kun to eat. However, it probably wasn’t exactly healthy…

“However, it probably wasn’t exactly healthy…”

I wouldn’t like to try and insinuate anything in terms of animal abuse from that though. It isn’t healthy for the humans either.

I wonder…what is PETA’s comment on this vid or any animals on Shimura Zoo?

I think you’ll find that people who are truly concerned with animal welfare are preoccupied by the billions of animals raised and slaughtered in diabolical conditions in order to satiate the developed world’s lust for meat. A single chimp being treated to chocolate on TV hardly compares.

PETA considers any pet owner to be the equivalent of a slave owner. Their goal is the complete “liberation” of all animals from humans in every way.

Except for those that provide insulin for their Dear Leader.

If I was a meter tall and could fit into a chimp suit I would let them “mis-treat” me like that. Pan-kun lives the life of luxury – chimp or human.

Recently a chimp tore off someone’s face, and was then stabbed several times to no avail. The chimp proceeded to enter a police cruiser and attack the officer inside who then shot the chimp several times at point blank range. This didn’t slow the chimp down, because it still had time to flee the scene before dying of blood loss.

In another, older incident, two chimps tore of someone’s nose, lips and right eye, as well as all of his fingers and part of his right foot and right hand.

Chimps kind of suck.

And do you have sources for this “news” or did this happen in a comic book?

Clearly the idea of a chimp attacking a human is preposterous to the point of being the stuff of comic book legends.

I’m not surprised. Chimps are actually the little punks of the (non-human) primate world in a way. Chimps have been documented doing some very nasty things to each other in the wild. They’re also very strong bastards. Gorillas, for all their fearsome reputation, are far gentler. Think Ving Rhames chilling out. Bonobos are another fun lot – the hippies of the primates.
